No, pinch your skin with your nails and thats what it feels like. It lasts like 3 seconds and then you will not feel the pain anymore =)
Dont worry

Ok, from one needle phobic 2 another... here's what I do....
1.) don't look
2.) talk to someone, everyone says to think of something different and better, but if you're at all like me, then your mind just reverts back to the shot everytime it can, so I have found that talking to someone (a good friend, a parent, boyfriend/girlfriend, etc) works best b/c they can truly keep you engaged in the canversation and you won't have time to think about the needle.
3.) wiggle your toes, it seriously works
4) remember to breath-- I often forget
5) which ever arm is going to "get it", place that hand on your hip with your fingers and thumb seperated, fingers pointing to your belly button and and your thumb pointing to your spine, with your hand in this position it is impossible to make a muscle and that's often what makes shots hurt more than they need to.
6) hold someone's hand
7) remember that this is for a good reason, it will pinch a bit and it might even burn a second, but it will be over VERY shortly.
8) remember its ok to cry, to say "ouch" to make a noise, but keep still, b/c that will make it hurt the least and be over the quickest.
Good luck, chin up and be brave!

i'm delaying vaccines. i'm easily no longer giving my daughter the Hep B vaccine till way later in her existence, I do merely no longer see the factor of vaccinating a 7 pound new child against an STD. i'm uncertain there's a connection between autism and vaccines yet there is easily a connection between vaccines and autoimmune ailments and cancers. My husband had seizures for quite a few years as a baby as a results of his formative years photos. That became what first made me study this concern. you're appropriate, it rather is an exceedingly confusing decision. I struggled with this decision for quite a few months and often I nevertheless question my decision yet at present i'm easily extra mushy no longer vaccinating then vaccinating.

Keep your arm relaxed, take slow deep breathes and dont look, and all you will feel is a small pinch. Your arm may be sore afterwards for a day or two but take an over the counter painkiller, keep your arm moving and use an ice-pack.
Good Luck, Be Brave

Injections aren't a topic for Infectious Disease. Anyone skilled at giving injections can administer this without you feeling a thing. Don't look and it'll be over before you know it in 3-4 seconds. And if this is the first of your series, you'll be getting 2 more.

Well there is nothing that can be done about the temporary pain this shot will cause.
However it is a nessacary evil and you must have it!!
So honestly speaking, Yes it will hurt a little bit, Try holding your breath. It will only take a few seconds and it's OVER!

You'll be fine. A good nurse can give you an injection and you'll barely notice it. The best thing to do is be sure your arm is limp. Imagine your arm hanging like a rope, and you'll be fine.
